(SPOILER) Dollhouse: Joss Whedon Q&A.
Whedonesque | a weblog about Joss Whedonhttp://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2009/02/dollhouse_joss_whedon_qa.html From Alan Sepinwall at the Star Ledger [ edited by JMaloney on 2009-02-11 16:18 ]

'Dollhouse' Week: News from everywhere

Joss said in our interview and lots of others he's done that he feels like the back half of this season is where the show really finds itself and starts to work.

So I'm not giving up yet. But it feels like there are much deeper problems at the foundation of this series than there were with, say, "Angel" or "Journeyman." ...

Dollhouse, "Gray Hour": Mind thief
What's Alan Watching? — ... (*) Joss Whedon did tell me that the episode order on these first four got reshuffled due to production issues, but it seems like the bow-hunting episode was the one that got moved the most, and that's a case where the client went nuts but the imprint process was fine. ...
